Comment(by andrea):

 This patch looks reasonable to me; only thing to really question is the
 choice of MAX_INTRO_POINTS.  Do we know how hidden service reliability
 varies as a function of the number of intro points to justify the choice
 and the phrasing "(misguided) attempt to improve reliability" in the
 warning?
